Additionally, I am currently applying to CMU's MSCF and Berkley's MFE program, could you rate my chances for those programs as well?

Best regards,Jing

Jing,

I think your chances at the CMU and Berkeley programs you mentioned are good. You have excellent numbers and what appears to be some solid and interesting experiences relevant to your goals. Why are you unsure you'd be competitive at these programs?

Given your lack of work experience an MBA is less doable, since most schools like 2-3 years of experience. However, there are some exceptions--schools known for admitting large percentages of newbies like yourself. Rochester, Vanderbilt, CMU, and Illinois are all respected finance schools and all average at least 9% students with 1 year or less of work experience.

Good luck,

Thanks for your advice. I am unsure of whether I'll be competitive because I know my GPA isn't fantastic.

May I inquire about my chances for Princeton's MS in Finance, as well?

J,

Sorry, but I am an MBA guy and don't know Princeton's MS program. Just judging by the quality of that university overall I assume its MS program would be at least the same caliber as CMU's and Haas's. You should give it a shot. Even if you are a marginal longshot at Princeton, marginal longshots do get in.
